It is a new hostal, so I think we got the best of the best. New beds, new linens, new sheets and Marco is amazing. He was always there for us and greeted us personally. Great kitchen, so clean and very big. Also, the beds were double beds!!

I had an amazing time staying at Cafecito’s Surf House! The atmosphere was so welcoming, making it a perfect place to meet other travelers. The location was a 10/10. Just a short walk to the beach and plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience. I can’t wait to come back! I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a friendly and comfortable place to stay.

I stayed in the female dorm and it was amazing! I’ve been traveling for over a year while staying at hostels and this is by far the most comfortable dorm I’ve stayed in! Giant beds with curtains and AC at night & also love the way it’s decorated inside! Kitchen right outside for the female dorm guests to use and adorable dogs! Also great hostel owner! Thanks so much, I’ll come back here next time I’m in Costa Rica :)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was a 10 from the incredibly comfortable beds to the very cool rooms. We stayed in the mobile home and it is very spacious with loads of storage and a nice seating area and toilet. Kitchen was big open air and fairly well equipped. Nice social area. Right on a great beach and walking distance to most cafes. The best staff of any property I’ve ever stayed in. Mica and all the other reception staff sorted out any type of inquiry or problem the fastest I’ve seen.

    ICO Living is a tasteful, small Hostel, that creates a very homey and safe atmosphere. The Hostel is cleaned everyday and at the most perfect location in Santa Teresa (very close to the beach and everything you might need). Traveling by myself, my stay at ICO Living was especially impacted by the wonderful people that work there. Being welcomed and included with open arms and care made my stay very memorable and if you plan on going to Santa Teresa, I can wholeheartedly recommend ICO Living. 🧡

    The ‘beach house’ is definitely something you wouldn’t typically find in a hostel and has possibly one of the best locations in Santa Teresa. Highly recommended to get assigned a room there as it feels more like an independent ‘airbnb’ and one of my best hostel experiences ever

    Marco was very nice and helpful. The beds are amazing (double sized bunk beds) and were very clean. Very chill but still social vibe. Across from Selina North and close to the best surf beach of Santa Teresa. I visited when it was very new so a few things missed but I think these things will soon come! Till now one of the best hostel experiences I’ve had so far!!
